Mr. Mayor and City Councilors,
The Office of the City Planner and the Laurel Urban Renewal Agency Board respectfully requests that the

supports the Large Grant spreadsheet submitted on July 22, 2019. Members of the Laurel Urban Renewal
Agency met on June 26, 2019 as the Large Grant Committee to review, discuss, and analyze applications
for the Large Grant Program. Six applications were submitted with a total request of $388,697.27. It was
decided that the six applicants would receive a total of $224,737 in funding through the Large Grant
Program. The applicants are as follows:
I. Mountain Land Rehabilitation
$19,957
2. The Fjelstad Family
$12,589

$15,594
4. Pelican Caf6

These grants were discussed further at the Laurel Urban Renewal Agency meeting on July 22, 2019 and
were approved to be recommended to the City Council for consideration and final approval. These
applications were found to be eligible under MCA and to be beneficial to the TIF District by assisting
applicants with the upgrading and improvement of their properties and businesses. The Planning
Department can supply more information on the applications if needed to help inform your decision.
